We upgraded to the Tradewinds and found that to be well worth the money as you get breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and snacks from 7am - 9pm. pair that with several good restaurants on site - we only left the 'campus' once in the entire week. The beach was clean, the staff friendly and very accommodating.We upgraded to the Tradewinds and found that to be well worth the money as you get breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and snacks from 7am - 9pm. pair that with several good restaurants on site - we only left the 'campus' once in the entire week.

We had never been to Aruba and I chose this hotel based on other reviews. I would highly recommend it. Rooms are clean and very nice (roomy), Staff is unbelievably genuinely friendly. We spent 4 nights on the 6th floor and then upgraded to the Tradewinds Club on the 8th floor. It was a great mix of being able to try restaurants in Aruba and then having the convenience of food and beverage at the hotel. The photos on the website are a clear representation of the hotel. We will be back.We had never been to Aruba and I chose this hotel based on other reviews. I would highly recommend it. Rooms are clean and very nice (roomy), Staff is unbelievably genuinely friendly.

Hotel clean, even with many guests, had the feeling of solitude. Prefer the Adult Pool, quiet, gorgeous and secure with locking gates. Restaurants outstanding, simply fish for lunch or an amazing romantic dinner, we did both. Ruth's Chris, awesome...lobby deli delish....La Vista also great. Service excellent. Will stay there again. We strolled the sidewalk to see other hotels...no security, lots of people in tight spaces, just didn't appear to compare at all. Super great vacation!Hotel clean, even with many guests, had the feeling of solitude. Prefer the Adult Pool, quiet, gorgeous and secure with locking gates.

After a long flight and arriving at the hotel, we were greeted to a less than friendly staff. It almost seemed that we were bothering them and it was a chore to help us and answer our questions. This was especially true of the consierge personel. We also saw a lot of staff member standing around and talking to each other as oppssed to helping guests. There is a nice eatery right in the lobby with great choices, however our order was seldom correct. There were also long waits at the restaurants from the time we ordered to the time we actually received our meals. The rooms were very nice, clean, and had the largest balconies we had ever experienced. The pool and beach areas were very nice and clean, however seating and sun protection was definitly a major problem! There were not enough umbrellas and chairs for the amount of guests staying at the hotel, and if you didn't get up by 5am in the morning, or give a generous tip the staff you were out of luck. Guests were actually placing towel...After a long flight and arriving at the hotel, we were greeted to a less than friendly staff.

Very satisfied with this hotel choice. It was a clean and relaxing environment and close to everything.We had breakfast buffet at La Vista restaurant and it was great (even though we did not get the 10% discount we were entitled to). We found out about this discount after we left and they did not inform us. Everything else was greatVery satisfied with this hotel choice.

I had an excellent time in Aruba. It is the best island, in my opinion, in the Caribbean. The Marriott Stellaris hotel is a great hotel. The staff is so courteous and friendly and will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy during your stay. The pool and beachfront was by far my most favorite feature. The pool is beautiful, clean, and has a great bar in the middle. The beach is super clean and the water is fantastic with water sport tents located nearby. The Marriott is however, the furthest hotel on the beach from the local strip of shops and bars so if your not into walking id advise looking into a closer hotel. Ruth Chris Steakhouse and Simply Fish are the two restaurants in the hotel that are excellent. Simply fish does dinner on the beach right at the water which was by far the best.I had an excellent time in Aruba. It is the best island, in my opinion, in the Caribbean.

Our trip from the airport to the hotel was insightful, fun and a wealth of knowledge was shared by the bus driver. Walking into the Marriot we were greeted by Lasette at the front desk; I may have spelt her name incorrectly. Her smile and friendly welcome eased our fears immediately. We had booked a garden view king bed but there were no more king beds she immediately explained that she can offer a double which will be an upgrade. We thanked her and agreed, check in was a breeze. Edgar greeted us with Arubian punch; now we are thinking we made the right decision. The concierge was most polite and helpful, no matter how many time questions and assistance was needed. Everyone that we met on our stay was great; the house keeper Ann was on time and always had a smile when entering our room. I also two of the housekeeping supervisors (forgot their names). One of them mentioned the 'Caribbean festival' held every Thursday (almost missed it but we took taxi and was happy that we did) We hav...Our trip from the airport to the hotel was insightful, fun and a wealth of knowledge was shared by the bus driver.

"Breezy family-friendly digs with a beachfront seafood restaurant, two pools and a casino in Aruba’s Palm Beach The soaring atrium-style lobby sets the tone, with marble floors, burnished wood and sail-like crimson fabric draped overhead. There’s a modern elegance to the guestrooms with dark wood and chrome dressers, headboards that span nearly the entire wall and monochrome botanical print carpets. The palette, though, a mix of cranberry, moss and mustard, feels a bit out of place in this tropical environment.The Look The soaring..."
